An alternative to the traditional, full-on dining experience offered by its counterpart Seasons, Garden Terrace Lounge of The Four Seasons Hotel serves up light fare, afternoon tea and cocktails throughout the day and well-into the evening. Their gorgeous dining room is full of blossoming plant life and has a beautiful view of the C&O Canal, an historic Georgetown landmark. Make reservations early for afternoon tea, as it books up early, and stick around later for live entertainment on the weekends, including jazz bands and pianists.
